LOD explains how detailed, accurate, and build-ready your BIM model is at every stage. As the LOD increases, uncertainty drops—giving you clearer coordination, fewer RFIs, faster approvals, reduced rework, and a smoother, more predictable construction process.
Electrical Services – LOD 100 → Concept (Early Vision)
Meaning: High-level electrical intent without detailed system definition.
Includes: Conceptual electrical zones, major riser locations, approximate equipment areas, estimated power density, and service entry assumptions aligned to building massing and orientation.
Outcome: Rapid feasibility checks, early load viability, preliminary utility coordination, and confident go/no-go decisions before detailed engineering.
Critical Insight: Early electrical clarity prevents major capacity and space conflicts later.
Electrical Services – LOD 200 → Early Design (Schematic Design)
Meaning: Organized yet flexible electrical layouts.
Includes: Approximate routing for conduits and cable trays, preliminary panel locations, early lighting intent, load assumptions, and coordination with architectural and structural systems.
Outcome: Clear electrical design intent, realistic early cost planning, demand validation, and strong alignment across disciplines.
Critical Insight: Most early electrical coordination issues are resolved here.
Electrical Services – LOD 300 → Detailed Design (Accurate & Coordinated)
Meaning: Fully defined and coordinated electrical design suitable for CDs.
Includes: Accurate circuiting, panel schedules, equipment placement, lighting layouts, grounding systems, coordinated routing, and reliable quantity take-offs.
Outcome: Reduced clashes, fewer RFIs, smoother authority approvals, and predictable construction documentation with reduced rework and cost certainty.
Critical Insight: This stage prevents the majority of electrical site conflicts.
Electrical Services – LOD 350/400 → Build-Ready (Fabrication Precision)
Meaning: Installation- and fabrication-ready electrical detail.
Includes: Exact conduit layouts, supports, sleeves, embeds, hanger details, penetration coordination, installation sequencing, and prefabrication readiness.
Outcome: Faster shop drawing approvals, minimal site rework, controlled installations, accurate prefabrication, and zero execution ambiguity.
Critical Insight: Converts electrical design into installation-ready certainty.
Electrical Services – LOD 500 → As-Built (Verified Digital Twin)
Meaning: Final verified electrical model reflecting actual site conditions.
Includes: Confirmed as-built routing, panel and circuit data, equipment tags, field changes, testing updates, and validated system locations.
Outcome: Accurate facilities management, safe future modifications, reliable asset tracking, and long-term operational confidence.
Critical Insight: Becomes the owner’s definitive electrical reference for decades.
This LOD framework ensures complete clarity, predictable coordination, and zero surprises across design, fabrication, and construction — giving every stakeholder the right information at the right time for faster decisions and smoother project delivery.
Increase production bandwidth, eliminate execution bottlenecks, and scale delivery with
confidence
while protecting margins and maintaining performance standards.
Strengthen your delivery infrastructure, increase output capacity, and support larger
project pipelines
without expanding your internal workforce.
